Our goal at Northland Coffee Connect is to recognize, celebrate and support entrepreneurial ventures in North Kansas City and the Northland (Clay & Platte Counties). Creating and growing small businesses is an important key to economic development. With proper nourishment, many of these businesses will grow and provide additional employment in the Northland. As often as possible, we like to have the presenting business host Northland Coffee Connect, but when that isn't possible, we are able to use space at iWerx in NKC or Chicken N Pickle. If you would like to get involved, please reach out to Rich Groves via email, [email protected]
